Default Re: Prof. Dumbledore is Gay

[ QUOTE ]
The two articles give a very different version of the statement:
msnbc: "always thought Dumbledore was gay,"
Yahoo: "Dumbledore is gay,"

The former at least appreciates that she doesn't own her characters post-publication and she's no more than another in a sea of critics after the book hits shelves, the latter is a silly statement that doesn't really appreciate what being a storyteller is all about.

I think the discrepancy is msnbc's fault though, they seem to have just cut out "I always thought" for the beginning of the quote.

Uh, the stories are published by two different news agencies. The MSNBC version is via Reuters and the Yahoo one from AP. The news sites just publish fed stories from the agencies. Depending on what your news preferences are, this might make a lot of sense, considering editors and writers.
